What procedures to bring forward maxilla forward and rotate jaw upward to a forward growth position? (Photos)

February 19, 2018
Asked By:CuriousCatHowAboutThat in Portland, OR

My head is tucked in the picture, but as you can see I don’t have a good natural development due to some bad Orthodontics and mouth breathing - while I want to push natural oral posture as far as I can go, I don’t know how far I can take it. One image is tucked and the other “normal” rest (I know I blocked my eyes in one but can you blame me lol?) I’d love to know what the procedures might be or what surgeons see to shift the bones in the maxilla forward and upswing the mandible - thank you!
